The longevity Of girihood, according t,
the ethics Of society, has increased in the
last dozen or fifteen years. A girl is not
an ''old maid" now until she is past 80.
Once she was an ''old maid" at 25. She
10 girl now for Eve years past that age.
1t is even deemed not only possible but
probable that some man will find her fair
and lovable after that advanced age and
she marry. In the better circles girls do
not enter society at as early an age as
they did when the tag ''old maid" was
affixed to them il they didn't marry by
the time they were 25 The lass of Ii,
IS or even older is in school occupied
with her music and other studies now,
and not receiving beaus alone in the
parlor evenings. She is getting ready
to be yonng woman. She is not at
tempting to be one before she is.
Its time-honored fallacy that girls
reach mental maturity in advance OF
boys. The average lad Of l6 or Is is
quite as matured in intellect as the girl
OF that age. She is no more fitted at
that stage of growth to assume the roll
Of womanhood than be of manhood.
There are exceptional instances of as
tonishing development at an early day
with both boys and girls that entitle
them to rank as men and women. But |
this ia not the average with humanity,
and the girl who does not attempt to be
young lady" until she is 81 is far
better oil than she who starts out in this
endeavor two or three years younger.
The largely increasing number Of in
dependently situated women who prefer
to live unmarried is likely to work de-
cided change in the status of the 'old
maid" The elderly girl who prefers the
luxury of comforts of her fathers home
10 sharing fiat or boarding house
with salaried young man is multiplying
SO rapidly that she is bound to have
show in things generally, the same as
younger maidens and her married sisters

Chasing the Swordfish.

''The pursuit of the swordfish, ~ Pro-
fessor Goode says, ''is much more ex-
citing than ordinary fishing, for it resem-
bles the hunting of large animals upon
the land and partakes more of the nature
of the chase. There is no slow or careful
batting and patient waiting, and no dis
appointment caused by the accidental
capture of worthless bait stealers. The
game is seen and followed, and outwitted
by wary tactics and killed by strength of
arm and skill. The swordfish is a power
full antagonist, sometimes, and sends his
pursuers' vessel into harbor leaking, and
almost sinking, from injuries he has in
ficted l have known vessel to be
struck by wounded swordfish as MANY as
twenty times in a season.
"There is even the spice of PERSONAL
danger to give SAVIOR to the chase, for the
men are occasionally injured by the in
furiated fish. One of Capt. Ashby's
crew was severely wounded by sword
fish, which thrust his beak through the .
oak floor of boat on which he was stani
ing, and penetrated about two inches n
his naked heel. The strange fascinationl
draws men to this pursuit when thew
have once learned it's charms. An old2
swordfisherman, who had followed the
pursuit for twenty years, told me that
when he was on the cruising ground he
fished all night in his dreams. and tina
many time he has bruised his hands
and rubbed the skin off his knuckles b,
striking them against the ceiling of hi
bunk when he raised his arms to thru
the harpoons into visionary monst.
swordfishes. New York Mail and -

Genius and Common Sense.

1t is, perhaps, as natural for some peo-
pie to forget common claims and duties as
it is for others to become absorbed in
them. One man dwells in thought and
shrinks from action, another is always
acting without thinking, but, as Ruskin
well tells us, sit is only by labor that that
thought can be made healthy and only by
thought that labor can be made happy,
and the two cannot be separated with i'm
punity." One is welded to theories and
despises practice; another, with executive
power, scorns all theory as vaporous and
impractical. One man, engrossed with
scientific research, neglects to control his
money matters, and involves himself and
others in trouble; another, vigilant and
economical, cares not straw for the most
wonderful message that science ever
brought. Some are too much absorbed in
lofty ideas or adventurous schemes to take
proper care of their physical welfare;
others, too much engaged with the claims
of the body to take thought for anything
beyond.
1t is very common mistake to suppose
that genius must always dwell in eX
tremes, and that to mediocrity alone be-
longs the power Of balance and harmony.
While it cannot be denied that it is some
times the case, it is not by any means
either necessary condition of things or
one to be desired. The man of genius
most to be honored and admired is he who,
while devoting himself to some one high
aim or endeavor, never forgets other
claims and other relations. He is not sat
isfied to be grand statesman and a neg
lectful father, an eminent philosopher and
a careless spendthrift, a fine astronomer
and disloyal friend, an earnest reformer
and cruel enemy. Whatever else he
may be, he desires to be a man in the best
sense Of the word, and to that dignity he
can only attain by cultivating the quail
ties which combine to form true manhood.
